    My code (arr is array of native BigInt):

      console.info("My number as BN:     " + BN(arr[0] * arr[0] + arr[1] * arr[1]).toFixed());
      console.info("My number as BigInt: " + (arr[0] * arr[0] + arr[1] * arr[1]));
    

    Output:

      10, 7,  5,  5, 3, 2,  7, 6, 5,  9,
      10, 2,  6,  7, 2, 9, 10, 8, 8,  1,

    Product to get 3.52198124718383079462822912e+38
    Your A*A + B*B 3.52198124718383079462822912e+38
    Correct
    

    As you see, BN.toFixed is able to get accurate representation.

    Why not print BigInts as strings, then? Is it difficult to convert bigint to string and display it?

    Not easy (because Bignumber.js doesnt't display well very big numbers) but I'll try to explain that your result is wrong.
    with JS

    you: A = 3; B = 38575890503412110
    me : A = 20534466401280000; B = 32656316659200000
    your product: 1.488099328131240613479552494652109e+33
    my   product: 1.4880993281312406429302784e+33
    

    They seem pretty close.
    with Python or another language with native big integers:

    you: A = 3; B = 38575890503412110
    me : A = 20534466401280000; B = 32656316659200000
    your product: 1,488,099,328,131,240,613,479,552,494,652,109
    my   product: 1,488,099,328,131,240,642,930,278,400,000,000
    mine - your =                        29,450,725,905,347,891 ~= 2.9450725905347892e+16
    

    I expect my answer is clear enough, if not please tell.

    I looked at your code and trie it and unfortunately I am sorry to think that you are not in the right way.

    Edit: It seems you now Python so you can try it on this kata and have no problem with big integeers.
